Chapter 673: Coming to the door

Chapter 673 came to the door

The people of Chang'an City did not guess wrong, and on the second day of Yan Yun's army's invasion of Chang'an City, order was basically restored in the city. There was no looting by chaotic soldiers, and naturally there would be no bloody massacre. King Yan did not come to destroy the capital when he entered Chang'an, no matter how many courtiers who opposed King Yan's entry into the city were slaughtered, the people were still safe.

The battalions of the Tang Army are counting the number of people, making a roster and submitting it to the Prime Minister for Military Aircraft Affairs, Xu Shiji, the military advisor of the Yanyun Army. Xu Shiji has not been idle since the day he entered the city, and the number of Tang troops who surrendered is still more than 40,000, which is an extremely powerful strength, if it were not for the fact that Liu Hongji, who guarded the northern city from the beginning, did not plan to fight to the death, the vicious battle in Chang'an City was only afraid that it would greatly consume the main elite of the Yanyun army.

Therefore, for these Tang troops, from the generals to the soldiers, they cannot look down on them with a condescending attitude, and even appease them as meritorious heroes.

This is a difficult and cumbersome matter, so people like Li Xian who are afraid of trouble will naturally not do it themselves. Xu Shiji is safe and fair, and he is entrusted to Li Xian to rest assured. In order to ensure that there would be no sudden incidents, Yan Yunjun did not all advance, and left 50,000 horses in the camp outside the northern city, with Pei Xingyan as the general to supervise it.

The more than 100,000 troops who entered the city were divided into four groups and guarded the four sides of Chang'an City.

Within a few days, the notices printed by King Yan himself were pasted all over the notice boards on the streets of Chang'an City, so that the people could live in peace and not be afraid, the market would continue as usual, and all the shops would continue to be open. In order to reassure the merchants, King Yan deliberately exempted the miscellaneous tax for one month. And all the people in the city must go to the yamen to report again, and whoever goes can receive two catties of polished rice per person.

Although the people were sure that King Yan would not do anything bloody and cruel, they were still a little worried about going back to the yamen to report their household registration. Especially on the day of the city break, the people who hid the officials and soldiers guarding the city at home did not dare to go to the yamen, they were worried that King Yan would use this method to settle the sin of resisting Yan Yunjun's entry into the city that day.

In fact, before this notice of peace was posted, the notice of King Yan ordering all the dispersed Tang troops to return to the camp had already been posted. King Yan promised not to blame the past, but the time limit was five days, if any Tang soldiers refused to return to the camp within five days, they would be punished as treason, and the people who hid the deserters were also locked up and imprisoned.

The two notices came out one after another, which naturally makes people think of something. The bolder ones returned to the camp with the mentality of death or death, but nothing happened, and the generals of the Yanyun Army who were responsible for sorting out and counting the number of people were not vicious, and even looked very comfortable with their faces. The first to go to the yamen to report their household registration were those wealthy families in the city, because they were far more afraid of death than ordinary people, and they were more reluctant to die.

Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, those who go to the yamen to report their household registration have received two catties of polished rice. Even those who were so rich that they were happy to hold the small rice bag were also happy, they were not greedy for this small bargain, but they were sure that King Yan really only had the heart of appeasing the people in the city, and had no intention of correcting their crimes.

Five days later, the people who thought that King Yan was going to show grace to Chang'an suddenly discovered that the first notice was not played by King Yan to scare people, and since the sixth day, a large number of law enforcement teams of Yan Yunjun took the original roster of the Tang Army to search for deserters, and arrested more than 300 people in one day.

All of them were stripped of their military status and used as slaves. Some Tang soldiers who resisted the arrest were killed on the spot, and the law enforcement team showed no mercy.

Families hiding their loved ones were also arrested and imprisoned, and what awaits them is most likely exile. Either he was sent to the border city to work as a coolie, or he was sent to various places to be a slave. On the seventh day, the men of the yamen put up notices on the streets, and the last time was three days, and if there were any people hiding and refused to return to the camp, they would be killed.

No one dared to take chances, and the nearly 2,000 Tang soldiers who had been hiding on the day of the city break returned to the camp, except for the more than 300 people who were arrested on the sixth day, the army really did not continue to punish them in accordance with the will of King Yan, and did not even deduct a copper coin from the silver.

By the 10th day, order had been restored to the city.

Most of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City are near the imperial city. The prosperity here is only one of the reasons, mainly for the convenience of the court. These days, the civil and military officials can be described as panicking, and every day, even the upper court waits outside the palace gate half an hour earlier than usual, lest it anger His Royal Highness King Yan will cause disaster. Everyone knows that King Yan is different from other people in power, and he has never been merciful to the big family, and the murderous demon king has never been merciful when he raised the butcher knife in his hand.

At this time, people suddenly discovered that King Yan was such a special one. The children of the Han family regarded him as a god and their own people, and respected him to the extreme. And King Yan does not lack the support of the family, and there are also a large number of family talents among the generals around him. He holds the family with his left hand and Hanmen with his right hand, and he is not swayed by either side, I have to say that this is a thing worth pondering.

Since the second day of Yan Yunjun's entry into the city, the courtiers began to go to court one after another. In order to take care of the face of that group of important ministers, Li Xian personally visited several houses, including Xiao Yu, the left servant of Shangshu who had been hostile to him before.

King Yan came to the door in person, and these important ministers of the court naturally would not pretend to be any longer. Headed by Nayan Pei Lian, the officials of the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu, and the courtiers of the six ministries and nine kings were in a proper manner.

The only exception is Liu Hongji, the Duke of Qian Guo, whose family lives in Dongcheng instead of living on the edge of the imperial city.

……

……

After King Yan entered Chang'an City, the injured Liu Hongji returned to his home, and since then he has not been able to go out, the prime minister of Chang'an City has military affairs, and Xu Shiji, who has a respected position in Yanyun's army, came to visit, and left after staying in Liu Hongji's mansion for a full hour, and the door of Liu Hongji's mansion has not been opened again.

Unlike him, Zhang Gongjin, the Duke of Tanguo, was called by King Yan on the second day of the city's break, and it is said that he was scolded for a long time, and the guards on duty outside King Yan's study that day were frightened and changed their faces. Some people even had already grasped the handle of the knife, just waiting for King Yan to give an order, and then rushed in and dragged Zhang Gongjin out and hacked him to death.

But this kind of thing naturally won't happen, King Yan scolded people, and scolded heartily. When the scolded person walked out of the house, he looked extraordinarily calm, and even had a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth. Tan Guogong, who walked out of the palace of King Yan quickly, walked lightly along the way, and seemed to be in a good mood to the extreme.

Not long after, the will of His Royal Highness King Yan came down, and Zhang Gong resisted the army to enter the city, offending King Yan for an unforgivable crime, stripped of his position as the Duke of the State, and fined him for three years...... However, remembering his contribution to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and indeed having the heart of repentance, he was named the secretary of the military department and gave the opening of the mansion.

The former secretary of the Ministry of War, Gao Shilian changed the book of the Ministry of Rites, and added Dr. Guanglu.

Most of the old ministers in the city did not move, and some of the courtiers who really didn't know the rules and didn't know the importance of Yan Wang naturally wouldn't keep them, and after cutting off more than a dozen heads at the entrance of the vegetable market, there was no more shouting in the court. The original courtiers appeased and rewarded, but King Yan's old subordinates have not been rewarded, which seems unreasonable, but everyone knows that King Yan's reward for these heroes can definitely make people blush.

The generals of the Yan Yun Army were not in a hurry, because they knew that the Yan King would never treat them badly. King Yan once said before attacking the city that after entering the city, he would reward the heroes. The reason why Yan Wang hasn't done it yet is because Yan Wang doesn't want to give credit to him hastily and easily, and many people know that Yan Wang is making people prepare for a grand event.

Unsurprisingly, on the tenth day of King Yan's entry into the city, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, named the son of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and Li Chengde, the king of Hedong, as the emperor's grandson. On the other three days, the emperor passed on Li Chengde on the grounds that he was unwell and needed to recuperate and cultivate himself. The era name follows the martial arts, and this detail is what people pay the most attention to. An emperor who doesn't even have his own chronology, can his position last?

The reason why King Yan did this was nothing more than wanting a smooth transition.

Sure enough, the first thing the new emperor did after ascending the throne was to tell the world that Li Xian, the king of Yan, was the concubine of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor's uncle. According to the grade, King Yan should be the second son of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one prince Li Jiancheng above him, and now the prince is long gone, according to the rules, it will never be the turn of the emperor to succeed to the throne.

The second thing that the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was to crown King Yan as a lieutenant, the prime minister of the national military and horse affairs, and King Jin Yan as the equal king, which was the same as all the etiquette of the emperor. You can bring a knife to the court, and you can depose hundreds of officials. In addition, there is the Tiance General's Mansion, with King Yan as the first and only general after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. All affairs in the army are subject to the decisions of King Yan, and there is no need to ask the emperor.

Even the new emperor sitting on the throne himself knows that he is just a puppet.

But this puppet is also an emperor, at least he can sit in the imperial study that he has never entered and sigh. He knew that his fate was no longer in his hands, and as for whether he would live or die in the future, it was all in the thought of King Yan.

There is no era name, and there is no queen......

Li Chengde himself thinks it's a little funny, my imperial uncle...... How many days are you going to sit for me?

……

……

Tiance General's Mansion was set up in the original Chang'an City Military Reserve Mansion Yamen, only two days, the most famous calligraphy in Chang'an City handwritten plaque, after the completion of the hanging on the gate of the original Military Reserve Mansion Yamen. It must be said that the most famous calligrapher in Chang'an City today is, of course, King Yan himself.

Admiral Tiance

Li Xian felt a little ridiculous when he thought of this title, this was a title that should have belonged to Li Shimin. But this title in history is by no means as honorable and powerful as it is now.

Just when the General's Mansion was still being renovated, a carriage with an ordinary style and a symbol of a flame, a sword and a sword painted on the carriage stopped at the gate of the Mansion of the Kingdom of China in the east of the city. There were dozens of attendants next to the carriage, with green shirts and swords, their faces respectful and solemn, and they followed the sides of the carriage.

After the groom arrived at the door, he got out of the car and knocked on the door, and after knocking for a while, a person opened a gap in the side door, and said angrily that Guogong was unwell and did not see the guests. The groom didn't even bother to speak, and dragged the man who was guarding the door out of the crack in the door and threw it into the tree. Finally, one day he flew up to the branch, but he couldn't fly high......

The burly groom entered the gate, easily knocked down the guards, and then opened the main gate, and stood at the door respectfully waiting for the people in the carriage to come down. The old housekeeper of the Liu Mansion who hurriedly ran out from inside did not dare to slack off, and stood at the door to greet him while asking the strong man and the horseman: "Excuse me, which adult is visiting?" ”

The groom glanced at the old butler contemptuously, pointed to the tip of his nose and said, "My lord, there is one here, and it is also an adult who will be crowned the prince of the country in a few days...... But I'm just a groom, so who do you say is in the carriage? ”

The old butler shook his body in fright, and fell to his knees with a thud.

Li Xian, the king of Yan, who was dressed in black clothes, got out of the carriage, walked slowly to the door, glanced at the old butler who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Liu Hongji is there?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The old butler was too frightened to look up, and replied incoherently.

"He didn't dare to see Gu, so Gu had to come to see him in person."

Li Xian walked slowly into the courtyard gate, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The flowers in the courtyard are red and willow green, which is the most beautiful time of the four seasons.
